Like many Eels fans I have surplus Eels Polo Shirts, Caps and Jerseys. As I live in the St George district it is useless to leave them at local Vinnies, Salvos etc.
Its a pity we don't have a location where we can donate our excess Eels clothing foer those who cannot afford Eels gear.
I will try to give it to Vinnies aat Nth Parramatta. Anyone got any suggestions?.

I know a bloke who sends old footy gear to PNG once a year I'll have to chase him up I'm getting rid of a few things myself I've gone down 3 sizes so alot of my fat gear is needs to go
I work with Indigenous youth, they be absolutely stoked to receive that sort of gear
Great idea Marty and offside and kerry. Why don't we as a collective supporters group donate our excess stuff to either Northern Territory who can give it to the indigenous kids and adults or Png . NT throw plenty of coin at us . Alternatively imagine the impact a heap of stuff going to the rugby league mad Png community .
Like anything someone needs to coordinate it . A large secure drop zone at home games do the trick. But as always good will is abused or shit on and that is a risk .
Had a few kicks lately makes you change your perspective on life a bit.
good luck today
I agree totally with NRL being the number one sport in PNG, and with less than favourable living etc , it would be a god send.
The same does apply with remote and discreet Indigneous communities here in Qld. I took Petero Civ to Aurukun and Doomadgee for Program delivery and he was mobbed by the mob AND he is not Indigenous to our country. Footy says a lot and he is an immortal.
This would require support from Parra too, even Wynns shop, Parra juniors - all of them.
Id be proud to help . Based on the Gold Coast I am.
